Mountains have always held a special place in the soul of man.
From the beginning of time mankind has been fascinated with mountains.
Why do mountains touch the human spirit? Is it their size? Is it their solitude?
The ancients believed that mountains formed the foundation of the world,
that mountains surround the world and provide a resting place for the firmament
(an inverted, transparent bowl separating the heavens from the earth),
and that gods ruled from the top of mountains.

So why are mountains so important to the human psyche? We never answered that question.
Is it their size? Is it their solitude? Is it the challenge of climbing them? We might
be tempted to explain the importance of mountains by using words like grandiose and majestic;
but these words or just scribbles on a piece of paper. These powerful adjectives derive their power
from the mountain they describe. Without the mountain to give them meaning, grandeur and
majesty are weak and powerless. Mountains are more than the words used to
describe them. They are a powerful force on our subconscious that spark the creation
of new words in an attempt to describe them.

Do mountains loom large in our mind because they are the closest point to heaven
here on Earth? Why did Moses receive the 10 commandments on a mountain?
